   wow, that is so beautiful and eerie, oh people died, i think i'm going to name my band "sarajevo rose" and when sweet chicks tell me how pretty that name is for my nu-metal band i can debate whether or not to tell her what the name actually means and if i do because she's already digging that i can sing AND play the guitar at the same time then i'll swoop in and rescue her from having to think about people who live outside of america

   I love your comments, please post more like those!

   I would like you to send me links to your comments in other blogs, you troll.

   Troll aside, Brandon does make a point with his inflammatory comment. It may make you uncomfortable to hear it, but it is a valid POV.
   Does the red resin trivialize the death and destruction for gawking tourists?

   It's like the comment he made about the Pompeii man - crawling out of the box. I thought it was funny. We may be looking at death and saying, "Isn't that neat?", like we're looking at pictures of kittens and unicorns, and forgetting the brutality of what we're seeing.

   I think it's all in your eyes. The resin just prevents the gaps from being filled with dust and dirt...

   It's not a monument. And there are still bitches thinking it's got something to do with your beloved "America"... donno how the hell can someone "trivialize" everything he reads or knows to spite out those words...
   I think that TROLL comment is just out of topic.

   The bronce of a face cast statue from ancient romans does not trivialize at all the fact that there was a guy once casting it and the like.

   Stupid turists may be stupid wherever they go and won't see there a prove of a past civil war but a monument to take photos on, it's all in his stupid eyes and not in mine ones.

   I would like you to think twice the words you choose before spitin' them out ^g^

   If you ever come to Spain and visit the Franco tomb in El Valle de los Caidos you can take photos and say what a magnificent man is buried in there... But the whole place was built on the blood of slaves and political prisoners... It depends on you to see that.

   Yayo?
   Wow, there's a vast difference between the quality of the English in your first post and your second one. I'm inclined to think the second one is fake.

   The Pompeii comment was not about bronze, but the plaster casts of actual dead people from Pompeii. We look at death, but it fails to hit home in a meaningful way. I'm not sure what you're saying, otherwise. You sound like you're agreeing with me, but I can't be sure.

   When I get annoyed I type fast.
   I know the Pompeii post, thanks, I suggested it to Alex long ago before I became editor in Neatorama. You talked about the material in the holes on the ground, I talked about the material in a bronze statue and not those clay casts from Pompeii.

   Love you too.

   regards

   Gosh, i's hard to tell if you're being sarcastic, so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

   Have a good day, yayo.

   I help edit Yayo's posts for grammar and spelling, but not his comments.

   For the record, I find Yayo's posts quite interesting - he finds stuff I otherwise wouldn't have found. Yayo has been a prolific contributor before he became an author for the blog.

   For the record, I also find many of Ted's point of view very valid and well thought out - he's one of Neatorama's most prolific commenters who also can think critically.

   So make friends, guys
